An effective vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is essential to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. In these several months, a number of groups have started to report humoral responses and side effects after BNT162b2 vaccinations. Although these reports demonstrate the safety and efficacy, further studies are warranted to verify these findings. Here we examined the levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Japanese healthy volunteers who underwent BNT162b2 vaccine, to assess the humoral responses and side effects.
